     It may be easier just to run UVPLT on the multi-source data set
on the calibration sources - with docal=-1and see what you get.  then
run SNPLT on the CL table you used and so on...

    No AIPS++ is not ready even for the simplest VLA calibration as yet.

     Were you the one with the really old f77 compiler that seemed not
to understand anything of the compiler options?  Pat did send a reply
on that I though but it was really confusing - our compile options
have been good for many years.
